Burmese Python and other Exotic Snakes

Rep. Allen West and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz have found a common ground. They both have called for the Whitehouse to order a ban on certain imported snakes that are dangerous to our environment. The ban of Burmese Pythons as well as eight other large exotic snakes has stalled for over a year because of Whitehouse bureaucracy.

The Everglades National Park is being overrun with Burmese pythons, one of the world's largest snakes. It has been reported that these pythons can grow to be more than 20 feet long in their natural habitat and they eat anything. The only animal holding its own against the Burmese Python is the Florida alligator.

Just recently a 13 foot Burmese Python was discovered curled up in the pool area of a homeowner in Miami.
